Not Fade Away
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum

If you like the slow-groove versions of the early Brent era, like 11/2/1979, 5/15/80, and 5/8/81, you will really like this one. Jerry digs in hard.

Promised Land
June 11, 1993
Buckeye Lake Music Center

not many heady versions from 1993, but this one is worth hearing. Vince gets a lengthier piano solo, and both of Jerry's solos feel right at home.

You Win Again
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Jerry calls for Keith to take the solo during this version, which must have boosted Keith's confidence.

El Paso

Selland Arena

Phil's playing makes this a standout version, like many of the performances at this show

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 31, 1970
School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

Raw early version, the jamming in the final :30 hints at the song's potential, which twould be realized the following weekend in Port Chester.

What's up with Jerry's shout at 9:08? Did he drop something on his foot? Or did he just drop something? ;-)
And We Bid You Goodnight

Donna's last show before her maternity leave from tour, making this lullaby especially appropriate and poignant.

I believe this is Donna's last show before going on maternity leave. It's cool to imagine Donna "singing for two"
El Paso
Dec. 6, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

I'm already a Bill fan, but this show features some of the best Kreutzman playing that I've heard. His snare drum fill at 2:36 pushes this version, and the rest of this show, to the next level.

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

"Oh boy, are you gonna like this one" - Bobby says, and he's not wrong! Excellent vocals from everyone throughout this typically great 1971 SBD.
